`II. QUALIFICATIONS
`6.
`I am currently an Adjunct Professor in the School of Information at San
`
`José State University. I obtained a Master of Library Science from the University
`
`of North Texas in 1972 and a Ph.D. in Library Science from the University of
`
`Pittsburgh in 1985. Over the last forty-five years, I have held various positions in
`
`the field of library and information resources. I was first employed as a librarian in
`
`1966 and have been involved in the field of library sciences since, holding numerous
`
`positions.
`
`7.
`
`I am a member of the American Library Association (“ALA”) and its
`
`Association for Library Collections & Technical Services (“ALCTS”) Division, and
`
`I served on the Committee on Cataloging: Resource and Description (which wrote
`
`the new cataloging rules) and as the founding chair of the Committee for Education
`
`and Training of Catalogers and the Competencies and Education for a Career in
`
`Cataloging Interest Group. I also served as the Founding Chair of the ALCTS
`
`Division’s Task Force on Competencies and Education for a Career in Cataloging.
`
`Additionally, I have served as the Chair for the ALA Office of Diversity’s
`
`Committee on Diversity, as a member of the REFORMA National Board of
`
`Directors, and as a member of the Editorial Board for the ALCTS premier cataloging
`
`journal, Library Resources and Technical Services. Currently I serve as a Co-Chair
`
`for the Library Research Round Table of the American Library Association.

`
`I have also given over one-hundred presentations in the field, including
`
`several on library cataloging systems and Machine-Readable Cataloging (“MARC”)
`
`standards. My current research interests include library cataloging systems,
`
`metadata, and organization of electronic resources.

`
`I have been deposed eighteen times.

`
`III. PRELIMINARIES
`A.
`Scope of This Declaration And Legal Understanding
`11.
`I am not an attorney and will not offer opinions on the law. I am,
`
`however, rendering my expert opinion on the authenticity of the documents
`
`referenced herein and on when and how each of these documents was disseminated
`
`or otherwise made available to the extent that persons interested and ordinarily
`
`skilled in the subject matter or art, exercising reasonable diligence, could have
`
`located the documents.
`
`12.
`
`I am informed by counsel that an item is considered authentic if there
`
`is sufficient evidence to support a finding that the item is what it is claimed to be. I
`
`am also informed that authenticity can be established based on the contents of the
`
`documents themselves, such as the appearance, contents, substance, internal
`
`patterns, or other distinctive characteristics of the item, taken together with all of the
`
`circumstances.

`
`
`
`
`
`13.
`
`I am informed by counsel that a printed publication qualifies as publicly
`
`accessible as of the date it was disseminated or otherwise made available such that
`
`a person interested in and ordinarily skilled in the relevant subject matter could
`
`locate it through the exercise of ordinary diligence.
`
`14. While I understand that the determination of public accessibility under
`
`the foregoing standard rests on a case-by-case analysis of the facts particular to an
`
`individual publication, I also understand that a printed publication is rendered
`
`“publicly accessible” if it is cataloged and indexed by a library such that a person
`
`interested in the relevant subject matter could locate it. That is, I understand that
`
`cataloging and indexing by a library is sufficient, although there are other ways that
`
`a printed publication may qualify as publicly-accessible. One manner of sufficient
`
`indexing is indexing according to subject matter category. I understand that the
`
`cataloging and indexing by a single library of a single instance of a particular printed
`
`publication is sufficient, even if the single library is in a foreign country. I
`
`understand that, even if access to a library is restricted, a printed publication that has
`
`been cataloged and indexed therein is publicly-accessible so long as a presumption
`
`is raised that the portion of the public concerned with the relevant subject matter
`
`would know of the printed publication. I also understand that the cataloging and
`
`indexing of information that would guide a person interested in the relevant subject
`
`matter to the printed publication, such as the cataloging and indexing of an abstract
`4
`
`
`
`Momentum Dynamics Corporation
`Exhibit 1005
`Page 005
`
`
`
`
`
`for the printed publication, is sufficient to render the printed publication publicly-
`
`accessible.
`
`15.
`
`I understand that routine business practices, such as general library
`
`cataloging and indexing practices, can be used to establish an approximate date on
`
`which a printed publication became publicly accessible.
`
`B.
`16.
`
`Persons of Ordinary Skill in the Art
`I am told by counsel that the subject matter of this proceeding relates
`
`generally to wireless power transfer through inductive coupling.
`
`17.
`
`I have been informed by counsel that a “person of ordinary skill in the
`
`art at the time of the inventions” is a hypothetical person who is presumed to be
`
`familiar with the relevant field and its literature at the time of the inventions. This
`
`hypothetical person is also a person of ordinary creativity, capable of understanding
`
`the scientific principles applicable to the pertinent field.
`
`18.
`
`I am told by counsel that persons of ordinary skill in this subject matter
`
`or art would have had at least a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering (or
`
`equivalent) and at least two years’ industry experience, or equivalent research.
`
`Alternatively, a person of ordinary skill could substitute directly relevant additional
`
`education for experience, e.g., an advanced degree in electrical engineering (or
`
`equivalent), with at least one year of industry experience.

`
`
`
`
`
`19.
`
`It is my opinion that such a person would have been engaged in
`
`research, learning through study, and practice in the field and possibly through
`
`formal instruction the bibliographic resources relevant to his or her research. By not
`
`later than the mid-2000s such a person would have had access to a vast array of long-
`
`established print resources in the field, as well as to a rich set of online resources
`
`providing indexing information, abstracts, and full text services for publications
`
`relevant to the field of this dispute.
`
`C. Authoritative Databases
`20.
`In preparing this report, I used authoritative databases, such as the
`
`OCLC WorldCat and the Library of Congress Online Catalog to confirm citation
`
`details of the publication discussed.
`
`21. OCLC Bibliographic Database. The OCLC was created “to establish,
`
`maintain and operate a computerized library network and to promote the evolution
`
`of library use, of libraries themselves, and of librarianship, and to provide processes
`
`and products for the benefit of library users and libraries, including such objectives
`
`as increasing availability of library resources to individual library patrons and
`
`reducing the rate of rise of library per-unit costs, all for the fundamental public
`
`purpose of furthering ease of access to and use of the ever-expanding body of
`
`6
`
`
`
`Momentum Dynamics Corporation
`Exhibit 1005
`Page 007
`
`
`
`
`
`worldwide scientific, literary and educational knowledge and information.1 Among
`
`other services, OCLC and its members are responsible for maintaining the WorldCat
`
`database,2 used by independent and institutional libraries throughout the world.
`
`D.
`Indexing
`22. A researcher may discover material relevant to his or her topic in a
`
`variety of ways. One common means of discovery is to search for relevant
`
`information in an index of periodical and other publications. Having found relevant
`
`material, the researcher will then normally obtain it online, look for it in libraries, or
`
`purchase it from the publisher, a bookstore, a document delivery service, or other
`
`provider. Sometimes, the date of a document’s public accessibility will involve both
`
`indexing and library date information. However, date information for indexing
`
`entries is often unavailable. This is especially true for online indices.
`
`23.
`
`Indexing services use a wide variety of controlled vocabularies to
`
`provide subject access and other means of discovering the content of documents.
`
`The formats in which these access terms are presented vary from service to service.

`
`
`
`
`
`24. Before the widespread development of online databases to index
`
`articles in journals, magazines, conference papers, and technical reports, libraries
`
`purchased printed volumes of indices. Graduate library school education mandated
`
`that students learn about the bibliographic control of disciplines, the prominent
`
`indexing volumes, and searching strategies required to use them effectively and
`
`efficiently. Half of the courses that I studied in library school were focused on the
`
`bibliography and resources in academic disciplines.
`
`25. Librarians consulted with information seekers to verify citations, check
`
`availability in union catalogs, printed books catalogs, and the OCLC database, and
`
`make formal requests for materials, e.g., books, conference proceedings, journal
`
`articles. Requests were transmitted using Telex machines, rudimentary email
`
`systems, and the United States Postal Service. During my career, I have performed
`
`and supervised staff who handled these resource sharing tasks.
`
`26. Online indexing services commonly provide bibliographic information,
`
`abstracts, and full-text copies of the indexed publications, along with a list of the
`
`documents cited in the indexed publication. These services also often provide lists
`
`of publications that cite a given document. A citation of a document is evidence that
`
`the document was publicly available and in use no later than the publication date of
`
`the citing document.

`
`IV. LIBRARY CATALOGING PRACTICES
`A. Machine-Readable Cataloging (MARC) Standard
`27.
`I am fully familiar with the library cataloging standard known as the
`
`Machine-Readable Cataloging (MARC) standard, which is an industry-wide
`
`standard method of storing and organizing library catalog information.3 MARC was
`
`first developed in the 1960s by the Library of Congress. A MARC-compatible
`
`library is one that has a catalog consisting of individual MARC records for each of
`
`its items. Today, MARC is the primary communications protocol for the transfer
`
`and storage of bibliographic metadata in libraries.4
`
`
`
`3 The full text of the standard is available from the Library of Congress at
`http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/
`4 Almost every major library in the world is MARC-compatible. See, e.g., MARC
`(FAQ),
`Library
`of
`Congress,
`Frequently
`Asked
`Questions
`https://www.loc.gov/marc/faq.html (last visited April 26, 2021) (“MARC is the
`acronym for MAchine-Readable Cataloging. It defines a data format that emerged
`from a Library of Congress-led initiative that began nearly forty years ago. It
`provides the mechanism by which computers exchange, use, and interpret
`bibliographic information, and its data elements make up the foundation of most
`library catalogs used today.”). MARC is the ANSI/NISO Z39.2-1994 (reaffirmed
`2016) standard for Information Interchange Format.
`9
`
`
`
`Momentum Dynamics Corporation

`Page 010
`
`
`
`
`
`28. Since at least the early 1970s and continuing to the present day, MARC
`
`has been the primary communications protocol for the transfer and storage of
`
`bibliographic metadata in libraries.5 As explained by the Library of Congress:
`
`You could devise your own method of organizing the bibliographic
`information, but you would be isolating your library, limiting its
`options, and creating much more work for yourself. Using the MARC
`standard prevents duplication of work and allows libraries to better
`share bibliographic resources. Choosing to use MARC enables libraries
`to acquire cataloging data that is predictable and reliable. If a library
`were to develop a “home-grown” system that did not use MARC
`records, it would not be taking advantage of an industry-wide standard
`whose primary purpose is to foster communication of information.
`Using the MARC standard also enables libraries to make use of
`commercially available library automation systems to manage library
`operations. Many systems are available for libraries of all sizes and are
`designed to work with the MARC format. Systems are maintained and
`improved by the vendor so that libraries can benefit from the latest
`advances in computer technology. The MARC standard also allows
`
`

`
`29. Thus, almost every major library in the world is MARC-compatible.
`
`See, e.g., MARC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), LIBRARY OF CONGRESS,
`
`https://www.loc.gov/marc/faq.html (last visited April 26, 2021) (“MARC is the
`
`acronym for MAchine-Readable Cataloging. It defines a data format that emerged
`
`from a Library of Congress-led initiative that began nearly fifty years ago. It
`
`provides the mechanism by which computers exchange, use, and interpret
`
`bibliographic information, and its data elements make up the foundation of most
`
`library catalogs used today.”). MARC is the ANSI/NISO Z39.2-1994 standard
`
`(reaffirmed in 2016) for Information Interchange Format. The full text of the
`
`standard is available from the Library of Congress.6
`
`30. A MARC record comprises several fields, each of which contains
`
`specific data about the work. Each field is identified by a standardized, unique,
`
`three-digit code corresponding to the type of data that follow. For example, a work’s
`
`
`
`6 http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/
`11
`
`
`
`Momentum Dynamics Corporation
`Exhibit 1005
`Page 012
`
`
`
`
`
`title is recorded in field 245, the primary author or creator of the work is recorded in
`
`field 100, an item’s International Standard Book Number (“ISBN”) is recorded in
`
`field 020, an item’s International Standard Serial Number (“ISSN”) is recorded in
`
`field 022, an item’s Library of Congress call number is recorded in field 050, and
`
`the publication date is recorded in field 260 under the subfield “c.” Id.7 If a work is
`
`a periodical, then its publication frequency is recorded in field 310, alternate
`
`publication frequency is recorded in field 321, and the publication dates (e.g., the
`
`first and last publication) are recorded in field 362, which is also referred to as the
`
`enumeration/chronology field.8
`
`31. MARC records also include several fields that include subject matter
`
`classification information. An overview of MARC record fields is available through
`
`the Library of Congress website.9 For example, 6XX fields are termed “Subject
`
`
`
`7 In some MARC records, field 264 is used rather than field 260 to record publication
`information. See http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd264.html (last visited
`April 26, 2021) (“Information in field 264 is similar to information in field 260
`(Publication, Distribution, etc. (Imprint)). Field 264 is useful for cases where the
`content standard or institutional policies make a distinction between functions”).

`12
`
`
`
`Momentum Dynamics Corporation
`Exhibit 1005
`Page 013
`
`
`
`
`
`Access Fields.”10 Among these, for example, is the 650 field; this is the “Subject
`
`Added Entry – Topical Term” field.11 The 650 field is a “[s]ubject added entry in
`
`which the entry element is a topical term.”12 These authenticated subject entries “are
`
`assigned to a bibliographic record to provide access according to generally accepted
`
`thesaurus-building rules (e.g., Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH),
`
`Medical Subject Headings (MeSH)).”13
`
`32. Further, MARC records include call numbers, which themselves
`
`indicate a subject and physical location within the library collections. For example,
`
`the 050 field is the “Library of Congress Call Number.”14 A defined portion of the
`
`Library of Congress Call Number is the classification number, and “source of the
`
`classification number
`
`is Library of Congress Classification and
`
`the LC
`
`Classification-Additions and Changes.”15 Thus, included in the 050 field is a subject
`
`matter classification. Each item in a library has a single classification number. A
`
`library selects a classification scheme (e.g., the Library of Congress classification

`
`scheme just described or a similar scheme such as the Dewey Decimal classification
`
`scheme or the National Library of Medicine classification scheme) and uses it
`
`consistently. When the Library of Congress assigns the classification number, it
`
`appears as part of the 050 field. If a local library assigns the classification number,
`
`it appears in a 090 field. In either scenario, the MARC record includes a
`
`classification number that represents a subject matter classification.
`
`33. Each item in a library has a single classification number. A library
`
`selects a classification scheme (e.g., the Library of Congress classification scheme
`
`just described or a similar scheme such as the Dewey Decimal classification scheme)
`
`and uses it consistently. When the Library of Congress assigns the classification
`
`number, it appears as part of the 050 field, as discussed above. For MARC records
`
`created by libraries other than the Library of Congress (e.g., a university library or a
`
`local public library), the classification number may appear in a 09X (e.g., 090)
`
`field.16
`
`34. OCLC provides its members online access to MARC records through
`
`its OCLC bibliographic database. When an OCLC member institution acquires a
`
`work, it creates a MARC record for this work in its computer catalog system in the
`
`
`
`16 http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd09x.html
`14
`
`
`
`Momentum Dynamics Corporation
`Exhibit 1005
`Page 015
`
`
`
`
`
`ordinary course of its business. MARC records created at the Library of Congress
`
`were initially tape-loaded into the OCLC database through a subscription to MARC
`
`Distribution Services daily or weekly. Once the MARC record is created by a
`
`cataloger at an OCLC member institution or is tape-loaded from the Library of
`
`Congress, the MARC record is then made available to any other OCLC members
`
`online, and therefore made available to the public. Accordingly, once the MARC
`
`record is created by a cataloger at an OCLC member institution or is tape-loaded
`
`from the Library of Congress or another library anywhere in the world, any
`
`publication corresponding to the MARC record has been cataloged and indexed
`
`according to its subject matter such that a person interested in that subject matter
`
`could, with reasonable diligence, locate and access the publication through any
`
`library with access to the OCLC bibliographic database or through the Library of
`
`Congress.
`
`35. When an OCLC member institution creates a new MARC record,
`
`OCLC automatically supplies the date of creation for that record. The date of
`
`creation for the MARC record appears in the fixed field (008), characters 00 through
`
`05. The MARC record creation date reflects the date on which, or shortly after
`
`which, the item was first acquired or cataloged. Initially, field 005 of the MARC
`
`record is automatically populated with the date the MARC record was created in
`
`year, month, day format (YYYYMMDD) (some of the newer library catalog systems
`15
`
`
`
`Momentum Dynamics Corporation
`Exhibit 1005
`Page 016
`
`
`
`
`
`also include hour, minute, second (HHMMSS)). Thereafter, the library’s computer
`
`system may automatically update the date in field 005 every time the library updates
`
`the MARC record (e.g., to reflect that an item has been moved to a different shelving
`
`location within the library). Field 005 is visible when viewing a MARC record via
`
`an appropriate computerized interface, but when a MARC record is printed to
`
`hardcopy, no “005” label appears. The initial field 005 date (i.e., the date the MARC
`
`record was created) does appear, however, next to the label “Entered.”17 The date
`
`upon which the most recent update to field 005 occurred also appears, next to the
`
`label “Replaced.” Thus, when an item’s MARC record has been printed to
`
`hardcopy—as is the case with the exhibits to this report—the date reflected next to
`
`the label “Entered” is necessarily on or after the date the library first cataloged and
`
`indexed the underlying item.
`
`36. Once one library has cataloged and indexed a publication by creating a
`
`MARC record for that publication, other libraries that receive the publication do not
`
`
`
`In this report, I sometimes refer to the “Entered” entry as field 008, characters
`17
`00-05. Field 005 is visible when viewing a MARC record via an appropriate
`computerized interface. But when a MARC record is printed directly to hardcopy
`from the OCLC database, the “005” label is not shown. The date in the 005 field
`instead appears next to the label “Replaced.”
`16
`
`
`
`Momentum Dynamics Corporation

`
`
`
`
`
`create additional MARC records—the other libraries instead rely on the original
`
`MARC record. They may update or revise the MARC record to ensure accuracy,
`
`but they do not replace or duplicate it. This practice does more than save libraries
`
`from duplicating labor, it also enhances the accuracy of MARC records. It also
`
`allows librarians around the world to know that a particular MARC record is
`
`authoritative. In contrast, a hypothetical system wherein duplicative records were
`
`created would result in confusion as to which record is authoritative.
`
`37. The date of creation of the MARC record by a cataloger at an OCLC
`
`member institution reflects when the underlying item is accessible to the public.
`
`Upwards of two-thirds to three-quarters of book sales to libraries come from a jobber
`
`or wholesaler for online and print resources. These resellers make it their business
`
`to provide books to their customers as fast as possible, often providing turnaround
`
`times of only a single day after publication. Libraries purchase a significant portion
`
`of the balance of their books directly from publishers themselves, which provide
`
`delivery on a similarly expedited schedule. In general, libraries make these
`
`purchases throughout the year as the books are published and shelve the books as
`
`soon thereafter as possible in order to make the books available to their patrons.
`
`Thus, books are generally available at libraries across the country within just a few
`
`days of publication.

`
`to the next; further, there are no visible alterations to the document. Exhibit 1007
`
`can be found within the custody of the degree-granting higher education institution.
`
`The dissertation was commercially published by the German publisher Shaker
`
`Verlag GmbH in 2007. Exhibit 1007 is a true and correct copy of O’Brien in a
`
`condition that creates no suspicion about its authenticity.
`
`39. Attached hereto as Attachment 1a is a true and correct copy of the
`
`online catalog record for this dissertation from the Technischen Universität Dresden
`
`Library, as well as its certified English translation. The catalog record indicates that
`
`the library system has three copies of the dissertation located main collection and
`
`the Electrical Engineering and Information Technology Department. I personally
`
`identified and retrieved the library catalog record that is Attachment 1a.
`
`40. Attached hereto as Attachment 1b is a true and correct copy of the
`
`MARC record for the doctoral dissertation, Inductively Coupled Radio Frequency
`
`Power Transmission System for Wireless Systems and Devices by Kathleen O’Brien
`
`obtained from the OCLC bibliographic database, as well as its certified English
`
`
`
`21 The final page of O’Brien (Ex. 1007) is page 196. This is consistent with the
`online catalog record attached hereto as Attachment 1A and the MARC record
`attached hereto as Attachment 1B, each of which state that O’Brien has 196 pages.

`translation. I personally identified and retrieved the MARC record that is
`
`Attachment 1b. As previously noted, the library that created the record is recorded
`
`in field 040 with a unique library code. For Attachment 1b, that library code is
`
`“GBVCP,” which means that the MARC record for this book was created at the
`
`Verbundzentrale Des Gemeinsamen Bibliotheksverbundes (Gottingen, Germany).
`
`As can be seen in the “Entered” field in the MARC record for this exhibit, a cataloger
`
`at the Verbundzentrale Des Gemeinsamen Bibliotheksverbundes created OCLC
`
`record number 255667655 on March 2, 2007, as shown in the “Entered” field
`
`(“20070302”).
`
`41. Thus, as of its cataloging, the publication corresponding to the MARC
`
`record attached hereto as Attachment 1b was indexed according to the creator (in
`
`this case Kathleen O’Brien) in field 100 and title (in this case Inductively Coupled
`
`Radio Frequency Power Transmission System for Wireless Systems and Devices) in
`
`field 245. Attachment 1b includes various German language field descriptor terms
`
`in the 650 fields that describe keywords for the particular subject matter of O’Brien.
`
`I understand that the English translation of those keywords are: “Electric power
`
`transmission,” “electromagnetic field,” “radio technology,” “inductive coupling,”
`
`“power electronics,” and “transceiver.” Thus, as of its cataloging, O’Brien was
`
`indexed according to its subject matter by the creator, title, and field 650 keyword
`
`entries, and a reasonably diligent POSA could have searched for and identified

`
`
`
`
`
`O’Brien based on the author, title, or keywords. Further, as of March 2, 2007, the
`
`MARC record attached hereto as Attachment 1b was accessible through any library
`
`with access to the OCLC bibliographic database or through an individual library.
`
`42. Attachment 1b indicates that the O’Brien doctoral dissertation as
`
`cataloged at the Verbundzentrale Des Gemeinsamen Bibliotheksverbundes is
`
`currently available from 10 libraries. In view of the above, this doctoral dissertation
`
`was publicly available no later than March 2, 2007, because by that date it had been
`
`received, cataloged, and indexed at the Verbundzentrale Des Gemeinsamen
`
`Bibliotheksverbundes, placed in its custody, and made part of the OCLC
`
`bibliographic database. For these reasons, it is my opinion that Exhibit 1007 was
`
`published and accessible to the public no later than March 2, 2007.
